Freak Plant??

[NorCal Grown]

I have a interesting plant that I would like some input on. One of my seedlings looked really sad. It recovered but grew at a slower pace then the rest of the seedlings. It also split into 3 stalks. It is looking healthy now so I will continue to grow it as I have plenty of space/light. I was wondering what causes this? Thanks in advance.

It looks happy now. The growing tip must have gotten damaged, or died off, changing hormone distribution within the plant and causing it to grow as 2 leaders instead of just one, same as if you had pinched it.

Thank you for your quick reply! Nothing I ever did touched or hurt it.... must have been self-inflicted. It broke though the soil late and was yellow/brown and I thought it was going to die, but is looking pretty healthy now. Do you think it is worth moving it to a bigger pot with the rest of the group?
